Nanbu Senbei Handprints in Hakushoku Center

Nanbu senbei is widely eaten in the Hachinohe and northern Iwate regions. It is a simple yet flavorful food made of dough kneaded from a mixture of flour, salt, and water, and baked in a round mold. The Hachinohe senbei soup, which has become famous as a local delicacy, uses a special “otsuyu senbei” that does not easily fall apart after simmering, and various flavors of nanbu senbei are now available.

The Nanbu Senbei Handbill is a service that allows visitors to receive various special benefits exclusive to the Nanbu Senbei Handbill, such as sashimi, sweets, and souvenirs, when they present a handbill resembling a Nanbu Senbei at any of the 24 participating stores in the Hakushoku Center. After paying online in advance, take the bill to the designated exchange location and it will be exchanged for an envelope containing the bill.

Nanbu Senbei bills are made from Aomori hiba, one of the three most beautiful woods in Japan, and each one is handcrafted by local artisans into the same shape as a real Nanbu Senbei. Because Aomori hiba only grows in harsh, snowy environments, its wood grows slowly over a long period of time, giving it a special, beautiful grain and aroma. Each Nanbu Senbei Handprint is unique and a perfect souvenir of your visit to Aomori as it is one-of-a-kind. Get a Nanbu Senbei Handprint and enjoy Aomori’s beautiful nature and craftsmanship.

This huge market offers fresh seafood and fresh vegetables just landed at Hachinohe Port, as well as products and souvenirs from the southern part of the prefecture. About 60 stores line the 170-meter-long Big Street.

There are two eating and drinking areas in the museum, “Kitchen Stadium” and “Aji Yokocho,” and “Shichirin Village” is another popular space where visitors can grill seafood and other ingredients bought at the market over a shichirin (a traditional Japanese charcoal griddle).

The “Hachishoku Summer Free Live” and the “Hachishoku Cooking Dojo” where you can learn professional techniques, as well as tuna demolition shows and live comedy performances, are held throughout the year.
